Athena Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 This topic is for posting about any films you have recently watched. P.S. No spoilers in this thread except in spoiler tags (like in the bookish threads). And I'm kind of a bore because I haven't seen a film in some time. It is difficult for me to concentrate for that long a time, and films are only getting longer these days (in comparison to the 20th century when a lot of films were about 1h 30 mins). I struggle with much shorter times than that. Anyway.. feel free to post about any films you've seen or a film you plan to see etc. These films I saw in 2020: Johnny English Strikes Again Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Ready Player One (re-watch) Spider-Man: Far From Home Beverly Hills Cop Beverly Hills Cop II Beverly Hills Cop III Airplane Ocean's 8 The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (re-watch) Iron Sky: The Coming Race Dirty Dancing (re-watch) Quote
Chrissy Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 I watched The Da Vinci Code. Easy viewing for sure, but was just what we needed at the time. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Well one film I saw recently (I think I watched it in about mid-December) was a film I really should have seen by now (given I'm 47!!) and that was The Godfather! It was utterly brilliant and totally lives up to its reputation. Just need to watch part 2 and 3 now! Quote
Madeleine Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 I've never seen the Godfather films either, but they say that part 2 is even better than the first one. Quote

Hayley Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I don't watch a lot of films but my niece was over a couple of days ago (it sounds weird saying you had someone over now doesn't it? Her and her mom are my 'bubble', if anybody's wondering) and she wanted to watch the new Baywatch film (mainly, I think, because she loves Dwayne Johnson). I think it might be the weirdest film I've ever seen. Quote
Hux Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Tenet - overly complex but good. I'm Thinking of Ending Things - superb. Next - I forgot how bad this was. Dredd - hugely entertaining. New Mutants - blah. Quote
tracy18 Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 2021 so far Gran Torino Reservoir Dogs Full Metal Jacket Whiplash Quote
luckyone Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I went back and watched Coming to America be for I watched Coming 2 America its the first time I watched it from start to finish, I was lol though out the movies I thought it was great 7.5/10 Watched Coming 2 America today I did not expect it to be as good but I never expected it to so far off, 3.5/10 Quote
Brian. Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I’ve not heard anything good about Coming to America 2 which is a shame because I remember liking the first one when it came out. Quote
luckyone Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil 9/10. Excellent movie, really enjoyed it. Korean serial killer thriller. Violence to the extreme. Quote
Virginia Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Question, I'd anyone going into theaters to watch movies or are you paying lots of money to stream movies? Here in the States it's about $30. Quote

Raven Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 3 hours ago, Hayley said: I don't do either but $30 seems expensive! Is that for a particular subscription? If it is the same as over here, it's for premium access to new movies that are either currently in the cinema or are only being streamed (I'm pretty sure $30 is roughly what Disney+ are charging on top of their monthly subscription for access to Black Widow, for example). It sounds like a lot in the context of one viewer, but if you are a family of four it's about the same as, or cheaper, than going to the cinema. Quote

Although I know you're right that it works out well if you'd be buying cinema tickets for a whole family. Do you get to keep the film forever too? Quote

You can watch it as many times as you like, but it will be part of the regular service from October 6th so I don't see the point in paying extra at this point! The price for Black Widow is £19.99 in the UK, btw. Quote
Virginia Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) I mean, I GUESS, if I'm taking more than one of my grands to the movies, plus popcorn and a drank, I could spend more. It's just the idea of spending that amount on one movie. Makes no sense but I can't do it! LMBO!! Edited August 3, 2021 by Virginia Quote

(I mean, in the cinema, as an individual adult) In the UK it varies wildly... My sister can get into her local for £5.00 whilst I have to pay about £12.00 (for a single ticket) Quote
Raven Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 Watched Alita: Battle Angel on Amazon last night. A two hour film that stops half way through the story. Quite a violent film as well, that is also oddly twee in places. Quote
Madeleine Posted August 12, 2021 Posted August 12, 2021 I watched the film adaptation of Jane Harper's book "The Dry" last night, it wasn't bad, stuck very closely to the book as far as I can remember, although obviously in the book there was much more background and character development. Quote
Orang-U-Can Posted September 18, 2021 Posted September 18, 2021 The last film i watched was 'Angels with Dirty Faces'. No matter how many times I see it, I always find the ending very moving. Anyone else seen this classic? Quote
Raven Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 Black Widow If Marvel had made this film five years ago - when they should have - they might have gotten away with it, but following more recent MCU offerings this was a bit weak (it wasn't particularly well written and the action sequences weren't very convincing). It's a shame, Scarlett Johansson deserved better for what I am assuming will be her only solo effort. Quote
